Since January 1, 2001, The Huntsville Police Department has complied fully with the Texas Racial Profiling Law (SB 1074).

One of the requirements of the Law is:

“Each law enforcement agency in this state shall adopt a detailed written policy on racial profiling.  This policy must implement a process by which an individual may file a complaint with the agency if the individual believes that a peace officer employed by the agency has engaged in racial profiling with respect to the individual” (CCP Art. 2.132 (b)(3).

It is the policy of the Huntsville Police Department to accept and fully investigate all complaints against the department, or its members, and to obtain a final disposition to those complaints so as to maintain the integrity of the department and secure the support it needs from the community.

If you have a complaint regarding possible racial profiling practices of a member of the Huntsville Police Department, you may file a complaint with any member of the Department at any time.  You may do so in person or by calling the Department at 936-291-5480.

 

Our goal at the Huntsville Police Department is to deliver the services the community needs and expects in a professional manner.  If this expectation is not met, we will take the appropriate action to ensure that the behavior is not repeated.  We do not want to fail in our continuing efforts to provide the best possible police service to each of the citizens in the City of Huntsville
